Kettlebell Split Stance Press
An overhead press from a split stance, building pressing strength while the hips and trunk stabilize a narrow base.

Why it matters for golf
The split stance shrinks the base, so the hips and trunk have to stabilize while the arm works overhead. Stable below while moving above is the job the body does on every swing.
Coaching cues
- Set the split. Hips square, glutes on.
- Brace before the press.
- Press to full lockout without leaning back.
- Stay stacked. Ribs over hips the whole rep.
Common faults
- Arching through the lower back at lockout.
- Hips drifting or rotating during the press.
